Xie Jiaojiao took a look and saw that it was a pink jacket with a white skirt underneath.
"Mom, are you buying this for me?"
Sun Ruhua smiled and said: "Since you are here, I will buy one for you, my sister and my brother. The clothes you had before were all made up of your sister-in-law's or mother's old clothes."
Of course Xie Jiaojiao agreed. After all, it was rare for Sun Ruhua to take the initiative to spend money, wasn't it?
Xie Jiaojiao touched the material. It was made of coarse linen. It was not very comfortable to wear, but fortunately it kept warm!
Sun Ruhua was going to check out. Xie Jiaojiao pulled Sun Ruhua: "Mom, buy two more pieces of fine cotton. I want to use them to make inner clothes. Then the three of us will make one!"
Sun Ruhua subconsciously refused, but when she saw Xie Jiaojiao's eager eyes, she swallowed her words back and turned back to the boss and said, "Boss, get two more pieces of fine cotton."
"Come on!"
The boss was very happy. The clothes of the three people who came in were full of patches. He thought they might just come in and take a look. He never thought that he would buy two sets of clothes and two pieces of fine cotton!
Sun Ruhua bargained with the boss, and finally asked the boss to give him a roll of thread, and then she happily paid for it. This time, she got nearly two yuan of silver, which made Sun Ruhua feel heartbroken.
Xie Jiaojiao comforted her: "Mom, I don't have this money, I can still make more!"
Seeing that she had sold a lot of money today, Sun Ruhua just felt uncomfortable for a while. Seeing that she had almost bought these things, Xie Jiaojiao said again: "Mom, let's buy some more meat and bones? Look at Zhiyi He is now eight years old now, but compared with Aunt Wang’s Niu Er, he is much shorter and looks sallow and skinny..."
"Okay, okay, we've made money anyway, what's wrong with eating something good?"
Xie Jiaojiao hummed vigorously: "That's right! Isn't it true that we make money just to eat well and wear good clothes?"
Xie Zhiyi applauded: "Wow, you can eat meat again!"
Several people arrived at the butcher shop. The boss had a deep memory of Xie Jiaojiao. The last time she was praised, she was so happy that she even walked out with two bones. How could he not remember it?
When Xie Jiaojiao saw the boss, she immediately started the praise mode again. After this round, the boss was tricked into giving them two bones.
Xie Zhiyi whispered: "Sister is so amazing!"
Sun Ruhua planned to buy some more salt. She only had a spoonful of salt from the old house at home, and she had finished it all while cooking two days ago.
When buying salt, she saw white noodles and thought about how Xie Zhiyi and Xie Jiaojiao were eating steamed buns today. Sun Ruhua couldn't help but buy two kilograms of white noodles. She comforted herself while buying them. Jiaojiao should be said to have been kissed and raised. Bai Bai is fat, Zhiyi is growing again, he should eat something good.
After buying these, it was already noon, and the three of us were ready to go back.
On the way back, when leaving the town, Sun Ruhua saw Mrs. Wang and hurriedly went up to say hello, only to see Mrs. Wang talking to a man carrying a load.
Xie Jiaojiao followed and called Aunt Wang.
I saw the man carrying the burden loading Mrs. Wang with a piece of tofu in a banana leaf.
Mrs. Wang said to several people while giving money: "Are you coming to town too?"
Sun Ruhua nodded: "Why did you go to town too?"
"Isn't it winter? The hens at home don't lay eggs anymore. We take advantage of the big market to sell them in the town."
Sun Ruhua nodded. This is indeed how the farmer raises chickens. As long as the family raises a lot of chickens, they can be sold in the town in winter, which can be used to make some money to supplement the family's income.
The tofu seller looked at Sun Ruhua and the others and asked, "Auntie, do you want this tofu? I can sell it cheaply."
Just as Sun Ruhua was about to say no, Xie Jiaojiao stepped forward and asked, "Why is it so cheap?"
The man moved the burden and saw that there was a whole bamboo board underneath that was not for sale: "This is the old tofu left. You can give it to me and sell it when you see the money, otherwise it will be ruined when you take it back."
Sun Ruhua took a look at it and said, "So many of them haven't been sold."
The tofu seller was also worried. He thought he would go to the big market today and make more, but he never thought that there would be fewer people buying it than usual.
Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Why don't you buy a piece too? Their tofu is so delicious. I always buy a piece whenever I go to town."
Looking at the tofu, Xie Jiaojiao had an idea in her mind. Before Sun Ruhua could speak, Xie Jiaojiao said, "Boss, if we all want your tofu, how cheap can you make it?"
When Sun Ruhua heard this, she immediately frowned: "Jiaojiao, don't talk nonsense. How can we finish eating so much."
Xie Jiaojiao said in Sun Ruhua's ear: "Mom, I bought them all. I thought of another way to make money."
Sun Ruhua looked at Xie Jiaojiao in disbelief.
Xie Jiaojiao blinked at Sun Ruhua: "Buy it, mother, I won't waste food."
When the tofu seller heard that he wanted them all, he set the price faster than anything else: "If you want them all, just give me 50 Wen!" At least he kept the money for the beans.
Xie Jiaojiao thought it was very cheap, but Sun Ruhua felt that tofu would taste sour after being left for a long time, so it was really not worth buying.
Seeing Sun Ruhua's hesitation, the tofu seller immediately lowered the price: "Sister, if you really want them all, just 45 yuan will do!"
Xie Jiaojiao immediately agreed: "Okay, we all want it!"
The tofu seller immediately beamed with joy and loaded the goods for them. When he saw it, there was also a bamboo chopstick that was not moved on the other load!
"Boss, these two have not moved. Otherwise, if you give them to us with these bamboo chopsticks, it will be difficult for you to wrap them up."
The boss agreed in the blink of an eye. After all, the bamboo chopsticks were not valuable and could be made in a short time.
After the boss finished pretending, he looked at Sun Ruhua. Xie Jiaojiao pushed Sun Ruhua: "Mom, give me the money."
Sun Ruhua couldn't say anything in front of outsiders, so she could only reluctantly give the copper coins. If she had known better, she wouldn't have come up to say hello!
When Xie Jiaojiao got this tofu, she thought about her grandmother's method of making tofu when she was a child, and thought that she would have to study it carefully when she went back.
On the way back, Xie Jiaojiao kept thinking about how to make fermented bean curd. Sun Ruhua and Mrs. Wang were talking and looking at Xie Jiaojiao resentfully from time to time.
However, Xie Jiaojiao was busy thinking about the steps and walking attentively, completely ignoring Sun Ruhua's eyes.
When we arrived at the entrance of the village, we separated from Mrs. Wang. Now the two families no longer live in the same direction.
